Ferienhaus - 3 Räume - 6/8 Personen

We spent a week in this nice and rustic property which is actually made of two houses, hidden on a little hill with no neighbours in sight and just the sound of the crickets. The house is well-equiped and the pool is gorgeous but there were quite a few little negatives which made it far too expensive for what it offered. We have been to quite a few different houses in the south of France and this one offered the least value for money.

- When we arrived the electricity in one of the bedrooms and he adjacent shower room didn´t work and after a few mails with the owner (another disadvantage: no contact person near the place who could help quicker) we found a main switch the next morning which was well hidden to turn on the electricity. We hadn´t been aware that whoever had turned off this switch before had also turned of the water pump so that we had no running water during the night and in the morning. Unfortunately the water problem returned when the cisterns had run empty a day before our departure so that we had to use pool water for the toilets and couldn´t shower or do the washing up for a day. We were only 5 people and didn´t use an excessive amount of water so this shouldn´t happen.

- at our arrival the bedlinen for the different beds was just piled up on a table and it was quite time-consuming to gather which sheets etc. belonged to which matress as they all had different sizes. We would´t have minded to make up our beds ourselves (we never had to do that before...) but somebody could at least have put the bedlinen onto the matching beds.

- the two showers had no curtain or separation which wasn´t a problem in one of them but the other one was small and the water went all over the place while there was nothing at all to protect the floor and we had to use our towels to mop up the water.

- using the dishwasher was more work than doing the washing up by hand as it did´t clean well at all so we gave up on it.

- like most pools in France this one also had an alarm which was very difficult to suss out until we dared to jump in whithout, presumably, turning it off. It probably wasn´t working which was fine for us as we are all good swimmers but for children it would be quite dangerous.

Despite the above we had a great time as the place is really nice and the location is wonderful if you want absolute relaxation and peace and quiet. A few improvements on the equipment and making sure that there is always running water would make it perfect.

Wir waren 3 Wochen in dem Ferienhaus in absoluter Alleinlage im Vaucluse. Die hat ausreichend Platz für 1-2 Familien. Den schönen großen Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Vom Haus aus sind es 5 bzw. 10 Autominuten zum nächsten Bäcker bzw. größeren Supermarkt. Vom Haus aus kann man direkt sehr schöne Wanderungen unternehmen. Es lohnt sich daher dort vor der großen Hitze bis Ende Juni dort Urlaub zu machen, danach war es bei uns fast zu heiß, um zu wandern.

"Wunderbar ruhige Lage in den Bergen um Gordes auf großem teilweise bewaldetem Grundstück. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem versehen, was in einem Ferienhaus benötigt wird.

Ausreichend Platz für 2 Familien mit größeren Kindern (4,7,10,15)."

Nous avons pu profiter du calme de ce mas pour nous reposer ainsi que pour festoyer sans déranger les alentours , la propriété est vraiment agréable et nous avons profité de la piscine , du barbecue, de la cour pour jouer à la pétanque , de la terrasse et de la grande table pour dîner. Beaucoup de choses à visiter aux alentours , nous ne nous sommes pas ennuyés :)
